📍 Ecuador is a country located in northwestern South America, straddling the equator from which it takes its name. It is bordered by Colombia to the north and Peru to the east and south, with a coastline along the Pacific Ocean to the west.

Ecuador’s landscape is highly diverse, featuring three main geographic regions: the coastal lowlands, the Andes Mountains running through the center, and the Amazon rainforest in the east. The country also includes the Galápagos Islands, located far off the mainland in the Pacific Ocean. This variety of environments supports rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems. Ecuador’s location along the equator and between major South American regions has made it an important center for cultural exchange, trade, and ecological significance.
